Distillation separates ethanol from water based on what difference?
A.Ethanol's lower boiling point
B.Ethanol's higher density
C.Ethanol's color
D.Ethanol's charge
Explanation
Core Concept
Ethanol (78 °C) vaporizes before water (100 °C). The vapor is condensed and collected, concentrating ethanol in the distillate.
Correct Answer
